Alcoholism Support Group

Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.

A SEED IS PLANTED

I went to an AA meeting tonight and a man I never seen before was in the meeting and he was called on to share his experience, strength and hope with the group. This man gave his clean date as 1969!!, I thought there is no way he is an alcoholic! Well after hearing his story I came to realize "if he ain't a alcoholic then there ain't none!! ha! ha!" Well another man ( a regular at the meeting I will call Jack ) was called on to share a little of his story. Jack said that he went to church today and the preacher was talking about how GOD puts people in our lives. He proceeded to say that many, many years ago he had to have surgery on his back. He was in a hospital in North Houston, while there in the hospital he spoke of how uncomfortable "to say the least" he was due to no alcohol in his system. Jack said there was another man in the bed next to him. This man told Jack hello and after days of sharing the same room proceded to tell Jack his life story about how he was an alcoholic and how he goes to AA meeting and had not found it neccesary to take another drink. Jack said he never forgot that man, because it was at that point that Jack realized he was an alcoholic, he thought of this man often over the years and how he never thought that he would see this man again, with a lump in his troat and tears in his eyes Jack looked across the room and looked at the stranger and said I just want to thank you

This is awesome stuff. I have exp. things like this in meetings and the cool part it you learn not to ask why because &quot;it is what it is&quot;
I'm a firm believer in the seed being planted for newcomers also they are there for every reason but to find recovery but it does screw up their drinking and at least they know there not alone and there is a solution when there ready.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
